Friendfeed clone (=ripoff). Why? - AJCann from Bookmarklet

Because science may have a larger input on science-specific developments? - Björn Brembs

Not quite with you Björn. How does that distinguish this site from FF? - AJCann

Ooops, meant scientists can have more influence. FF is basically dead in terms of development. For instance, if we want SF to automatically decode DOI's, we have a fair chance of getting that done. No chance in FF. Moreover, it already cooperates with connotea, citeulike, etc. and that cooperation could be intensified and developed to include more reference managers. No chance in FF. - Björn Brembs

There are some science-specific features in ScienceFeed, e.g. integrated PubMed search. And hopefully a better likelihood to add features relevant to scientists. - Martin Fenner from iPhone

Alas, ScienceFeed doesn't use Tornado, the part of FriendFeed that has been open sourced. - Martin Fenner from iPhone

@Björn - what do you mean by "it already cooperates with connotea, citeulike"? I can't see anything about that. - Fergus Gallagher

As much as I like the idea of managing community boundaries, this feels like another silo. Can't boundaries be managed with tagging, Twitter lists, FFeed rooms, etc.? Thoughts? - Bill Anderson from twhirl

If FF is good but being left to die by FB, where do we go? I really like FF, but it only seems to capture a small part of my twitter interest group, and to distract from a sensible comment stream on blog posts. It would be nice, for example, if I could make FF the comment forum for blogs (like Disqus, eg). Break across the silos would be good. Where is SIOC when we need it? - Chris Rusbridge

Fergus, you can import a citation from any CiteULike RSS feed using "Add a publication". Will then link to CiteULike and not ResearchBlogging. - Martin Fenner

Hmmm - not exactly tight integration ... :-( - Fergus Gallagher

You are of course right. Automatic import of your CiteULike RSS (what FriendFeed does) would be better. - Martin Fenner
